  The whole King’s Cross area will be dedicated to design, including Granary Square, The Crossing, Cubitt House and Cubitt Park, The Canopy and The Office Group. Granary Square is the design ‘plaza’ with temporary installations and parties. This year it will host an immersive piece by Turkishceramics and several small booths featuring partnerships, like the one between Renault and Central Saint Martins.
